Sori Yanagi Style Butterfly Stool

Long admired for it's sculptural silhouette, Sori Yanagi's 1954 Butterfly Stool has been an elusive beauty for decades.

Sori Yanagi created the delicate design taking influence and sructure from a butterfly's wings.

By combining his eastern influences with a special technique created by Charles and Ray Eames of bending and shaping plywood he was able to create a beautiful design that has gone unrivalled.

Originally produced and distributed only in Japan, this elegant piece of furniture demonstrates timeless style and grace that compliments any room it resides in whether it is used as an alternative to a dining chair, as a makeup chair/stool or in a commercial setting such as a restaurant.
